Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

After getting off the train, Nidia heard a familiar voice.

"First-year students, come over here."

Hagrid's tall figure stood among the crowd, his lantern held high and swinging in the air.

"Hi Hagrid." Nydia waved her arm towards Hagrid from a distance.

"How was your vacation, Nidia?" Hagrid also waved to Nidia, and then he looked at the neck brace around Nidia's neck in surprise.

Nidia had no time to reply, because there were too many people around. Hagrid was already surrounded by first-year students. Nidia was also pushed by students from other grades to a muddy path, where about There were a hundred carriages and everyone except the first grade gathered here to ride to school.

In the crowd, Nydia saw Harry's figure, and she walked forward to see how Harry was doing.

"You fainted, is what Harry said true?" Nitya looked at Harry carefully, his face didn't look good.

"Yeah." Harry didn't seem to want to answer the question. He nodded slightly to Nitya and immediately got into a carriage.

"He's a little concerned about it because no one else fainted." Hermione whispered to Nydia as she walked past her, and then followed Harry into the carriage.

Hermione had just entered the carriage, and Michelle quickly followed her and got in. Nidia was a little surprised by Michelle's behavior, but before she could think about it, Blaise had already gotten into another carriage. Nydia looked at Draco with some embarrassment.

"You go and see Michelle. I'll follow Blaise. See you at school." Draco also had a headache about the inexplicable behavior of the two people, but he couldn't let Blaise ignore it.

On the carriage, both Harry and Michelle turned their heads and looked out the window, refusing other people's conversations and inquiries. Nydia and Hermione were worried that they would say the wrong thing and make the atmosphere in the carriage worse, so in the end they simply said nothing. , Ron has always been curious about the neck brace on Nydia's neck. He wanted to ask something several times, but was stopped by Hermione's eyes sternly.

The carriage slowly moved towards the school castle. When they passed the school gate, they found a dementor standing guard on both sides of the gate. Harry shrank into the carriage, as if he was worried about the dementors. It was as if the spirit monster would make him faint again. Nydia wanted to say something to comfort Harry, but then she thought about it. The last thing Harry needed now was the comfort of others. This would make him appear more fragile than others.

The carriage staggered to a stop, and everyone got off the carriage one after another. They followed the footsteps of the crowd and moved forward. When they reached the door of the restaurant, Professor McGonagall suddenly appeared.

"Potter Granger, I want to see you two." Professor McGonagall said to Harry and Hermione, and then she looked at Nydia, slightly surprised when she saw the collar around her neck, "I'm glad You're back, Field, but I want you to make one last trip to the hospital to see Madam Pomfrey after the party."

"I know how to do it, Professor." Nidia replied awkwardly. Many people had looked at her along the way, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Maybe I should take it off at the party," Nydia said to Michelle.

"Oh." Michelle replied absentmindedly.

"What happened on the train? Did you hit Brace?" Nydia asked Michelle in a low voice.

Michelle's expression became a little embarrassed. "I didn't mean it." She looked around, "I'll tell you later. Let's sit down first. The dinner is about to begin."

"Okay" Now is really not a good time to talk, "Would you like to take this off for me first? I don't want to be the center of attention."

"Forget it, everyone has almost seen it. If you take it off now, you will have to explain why you don't wear it again later." Almost everyone who passed by Nidia would stare at Nidia for a long time.

Harry and Hermione returned to the dinner party after the sorting ceremony. When Nydia was about to ask them what happened, Dumbledore stood up and spoke.

Dumbledore told everyone that in order to arrest Sirius, there will be dementors guarding the school this year. He sternly warned all students not to leave the academy without permission, and specifically emphasized that the invisibility cloak was useless against dementors. Ni Tia felt that he was speaking emphatically to Harry. The announcement of this news made everyone feel a little depressed. Many people had already experienced the pain of living with dementors on the train. Now that the dementors will be around the school for a whole year, no one can I can't be happy about this.

Then Dumbledore introduced the two new professors who joined the school this year. Professor Lupine, who he had met on the train, was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. When he stood up, the applause seemed a little deserted. This course The teachers changed too frequently, and the abilities of the two previous teachers were not satisfactory, so everyone was on the fence about the new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher.

The second choice of professor surprised everyone. The professor who took over the Care of Magical Creatures class was actually their old friend Hagrid.

"Now the biting book is completely explained." Nydia suddenly became worried about this course. Is Hagrid sure he can distinguish which creatures are suitable for teaching to students? After all, he thinks that the three-headed giant dog And the eight-eyed spider is also very cute.

After the banquet, Nydia originally planned to go to Madam Pomfrey, but it was too late and she had to spend the night wearing a neck brace.

"Tell me what happened on the train." Back in the dormitory, Nidia leaned next to Michelle and asked softly.

"Oh, I really hope you forget about this." Michelle turned her head and continued to take out the items she needed from her suitcase.

"Forget it, and then you continue to be stuck with Brace like this," Nitya asked.

"What does it matter? If I don't talk to him, it won't affect you and Draco. Besides, wouldn't it be more convenient for you two to go on a date alone if we don't show up?" Michelle showed a nonchalant look.

"Is there any date?" Nitya denied in panic.

"You guys walked hand in hand all the way to Diagon Alley. I thought you were ready to accept him."

"I" Nitya didn't know how to answer Michelle's question, and she was full of struggle in her heart.

"You see there are times when you can't tell, and so do I. This way we are even." Michelle shrugged.

"You are too cunning." Nidia said unwillingly.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding." Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, Michelle's voice unconsciously became smaller when she said this.

"But I feel like Brace is very angry." Nidia is used to seeing Brace's usual cheerful and cheerful manner, but this is the first time she has seen him suddenly become silent.

"When there was a power outage on the train and the dementors came on the train, it was really uncomfortable. I have never felt such a terrifying feeling in my life. I was so scared at the time and there was only Blaise next to me." Michelle began to hesitate, not knowing how to continue.

"Michelle, everyone is the same. Dementors make everyone feel that they have lost all their happiness and fallen into fear. There is nothing to be ashamed of." Nydia comforted her.

"Okay, now that I think about it, it was me who hugged Brace. But my mind was a little confused at the time. I mistakenly thought he was taking advantage of the chaos, so I slapped him." Michelle said embarrassedly. His head was buried low.

"I think you owe Blaise an apology." Judging from the mark on Blaise's face at that time, Michelle's slap was not light.

"I know it's just a matter of time." Michelle felt a little confused.

"If you can't speak, maybe I can help you convey it." Nitya thought that Michelle didn't want to bow in front of Brace because of her good face. The two of them often quarreled.

"No, I will solve it myself, just give me some time." Michelle rejected Nitya's proposal.

"Okay." Since Michelle insisted, Nitya didn't say more, "but for things like apologizing, the earlier it appears, the more sincere it will be."

"I know, I will control it myself." Michelle said impatiently.

The next morning, Nydia didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so she went to the hospital first. She couldn't wait to remove the thing from her neck, but Madam Pomfrey was not there when she arrived at the hospital, so she had to stay in the hospital and wait. Madam Pomfrey returns.

To Nydia's surprise, the first person she waited for was not Madam Pomfrey, but Daphne, who also came to see Madam Pomfrey to get medicine. Originally Nydia didn't want to talk to her, but what she didn't expect was that It was Daphne herself who actually took the initiative to come over and talk to Nitya.

"Hey, Nidia, it's great that you can come back to school. I was so worried when I knew something happened to you." Daphne walked towards Nidia with a worried expression.

"Really?" Nidia expressed doubts about Daphne's words. They didn't have a good relationship.

"Oh, I know, our relationship may not be that good because of Pansy, but I want to say that in fact, I have always felt that Pansy is too domineering, but after all, I am in the same college and in the same dormitory with her, and I don't want to The relationship with her was so tense that it made life difficult, so I had to indulge her young lady's temper." Daphne acted very sincerely.

"As long as you can get along happily." As long as you don't come to trouble me, how you get along has nothing to do with me.

"What are you wearing around your neck?" Daphne stepped forward curiously to check.

"It's just a protective gear." Nidia answered simply, not wanting to explain too much.

"It's such a magical thing. Do you mind showing it to me?" Daphne asked. "I really have no other intention, I'm just curious."

Nidia thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Daphne's request. She took off the neck brace and handed it to Daphne. Daphne took it in her hand and inspected it carefully.

"This thing is really interesting," Daphne handed it back to Nydia after reading it, "Oh, I think you'd better take it with you. Since this has a protective effect on your neck, you'd better keep wearing it until Madam Pomfrey comes back. "

Nidia put the neck brace back on her neck. She rejected Daphne's offer to help. She couldn't stand Daphne's sudden overture, but Daphne acted very sincerely. For a moment, people couldn't tell what was wrong with her. .

"I think I'd better come back to Madam Pomfrey later. I have classes later, so it won't be good if I'm late." After saying that, Daphne said goodbye to Nydia and left.

"What a strange person." Nydia muttered to herself as she looked at Daphne's leaving back.
